Talenti Salted Peanut Caramel Gelato #33

[New for early 2015, Now discontinued] If you go to the same grocery store on different days of the week, eventually you learn when they restock their freezer aisle, and I know very well that my work Stop & Shop restocks on Wednesdays. Now, considering that I saw a bunch of new stuff when I grabbed my lunch on Tuesday, is there any chance I'll find a few more new things today? Why, yes, I found this and I found....

The ingredients scared me a little but this one is just epic from the first bite. I'm not sure this one even needs a review. It's exactly what you want. Plenty of flavor. Great texture. Just a bit of salt to tie it all together without being overwhelming.

Holy cow I just found a giant peanut.

My word this is good. I think this is now my favorite Talenti flavor. I think this may be my new favorite peanut flavor actually. I'm just going to sit here and eat the entire pint if that's ok with you. It's just so good. No, it's perfect. I wouldn't change anything. The way the caramel sweetness comes across the peanut backdrop is just amazing. Exquisite. Excellent. My word I'm such a bad reviewer.

Must save some for tomorrow.

Buy This. Now. (You can thank me later)

On Second Scoop: I like this one so much that I didn't have the heart to finish the second half of the pint today. It's too good. It seemed wrong to inhale it. It's going to be hard to top this one.

Took me til now to try, and I'm sorry I waited for as long as I did. It is now my 4th favorite Talenti, but given that the other three are seasonal or no longer available (Egg Nog, Peppermint Bark, Hazelnut) it's my favorite year-round Talenti. However, my thought process didn't go to Snickers or Brittle, but to DQ's Peanut Buster Parfait, and more specifically, the Buster Bars. Mixing this with some of that thick DQ like Hot Fudge would be insane.

I finally was able to find this flavor (B0GO even). Wow, what a disappointment. The base tasted like vanilla and mine had small amounts of plain peanuts sparsely scattered throughout. I have consumed half of the pint and have yet to find a hint of caramel. They need better quality control!

Sorry, it was retired. For the last several years, they have kept themselves limited to 40 flavors in total so less popular flavors get retired. (doesn't mean they aren't great, they just aren't as profitable as other flavors)
